Notes
SUBS
You can use any other source of protein in this bowl, however the tofu offers a nice meat-free meal option.
You can also go half and half - half tofu and half protein of choice for some variety. eg tofu + chicken; tofu + salmon etc. Just halve quantities.
If you don't have Chinese 5 spice, just toss tofu in sea salt and white pepper, before baking.
